Whitehall needs more central control of IT, says report
Better central co-ordination of government IT could greatly improve efficiency and cut costs, according to a study by the Institute for Government.
The study was put together with the help of Michael Bichard, executive director of the think tank and a highly regarded thinker in Whitehall circles.
The report argues that cross-department schemes such as the Operational Efficiency Programme, which aims to cut IT costs, and the Transformational Government scheme, which aims to improve information sharing between departments, could benefit from greater central control.
